I am lucky to have a fantastic 8 year old Step-daughter, Lauren, who just loves all things Hannah Montana and High School Musical! She also loves animals especially cats and dogs...and dolphins. She is so kind and caring and her Dad doesn't want her to grow up into a stroppy teenager.....I can understand why. Lauren was one of my bridesmaids and was first to walk down the aisle - my knees were shaking but she just walked in with her head held high and we were both so proud of her. Here are a couple of photos I took at the weekend, she is going to break hearts when she gets older!

Special moments in your life deserved to be captured so you can treasure them for years and years to come......but what happens when you can't afford it? I know from talking to friends and family that not everyone can afford to pay considerable sums for a professional photographer but they still want great photos. I think I might have the answer! I believe beautiful photography should be within reach of everyone and you may be pleasantly surprised by my great value, credit crunch busting packages. Everything is simple, relaxed and fun.Interested? Well.......Visit www.karenmcgowranphotography.co.uk to find out more and if you like what you see then get in touch for a chat.

This week was special as my gorgeous niece, Beatrice turned one! Recently, Bea and Lola have become the most photographed little girls on the planet (or it just seems that way!) and I think you can see why. Not only did I have the chance to capture Bea on her special day but you also get a rare apprearance from my daughter Christie. Being 16 you've got to catch her on a good day as genrally she 'can't be bothered' with her slightly mad Mam and her camera. The person responsible for my amazing family is my Mam, Joyce, and here she is looking every inch the Yummy Grandmummy she is.

Yesterday I had a great time on a photoshoot with a neighbour of mine, Bethan. She is a amazing girl - so full of life and a smile that melts your heart. She has taken what life threw at her and just got on with it regardless and I think many people could learn and thing or two from her. Bethan loves the camera - both as the model and as the photographer! Oh yes, I lost my camera for a while and we swapped roles which was funny. She really looked the part, shame I didn't have my other camera with me to capture it all!

For anyone who hasn't visited Whitby - get yourself there!! It's a lovely harbour/seaside spot with loads of interesing nooks and crannies and the most gorgeous Fish and Chips!! We called in on the way home from York and it was a odd day with strange light. Sort of cloudy but with the sun fighting through - made the place very atmospheric! We walked all 199 steps to the Abbey and were rewarded with amazing views. Here are three shots from that day.
